Great Blue Heron on Byrne Creek in Burnaby

I saw this Great Blue Heron overlooking the sediment pond in the Byrne Creek spawning habitat in SE Burnaby, BC. I wanted to check the pond for fry, and when I got closer the heron took off, and circled across the road.

Sure enough when I crossed the road 15 minutes or so later, there it was on the upstream side of the culvert.

I think it may also be happy that Coho salmon fry are emerging in the creek!
